The Rebirth of Han Yuxi

Chapter 41 : Tingyun Pavilion

Tingyun (clouds on the sandbank) Pavilion was built near a clear water in the garden. It was said to be an attic, but it was actually a waterside pavilion with half of its surface stretching forward into the water. It was built with the beauty of a quaint scroll of small gardens in the south of the Yangtze River, and its interior was also beautifully decorated.

As soon as Yuxi entered Tingyun Pavilion, she smiled and said admiringly, "Third Sister, this Tingyun Pavilion you live in, is really beautiful. If I don't know this place is yours, I will feel like I was in the fairy palace!" Naturally, there was an exaggeration in this statement, but this place was really much higher grade than Yuxi's Rose Courtyard.

Yuchen saw that Yuxi was only saying it as it was, without the look of envy, jealousy or hatred in her eyes. She smiled and said, "Fourth Sister can often come and play here in the future."

Yuxi answered with a smile, but she would not really take the offer seriously. Apart from the fact that the maids around Yuchen had been guarding against her like she was a thief, the Old Madam was also not happy when she knew that Yuxi often looked for Yuchen.

Shishu came in from the outside, bowed, extended a salute and said, "Miss, Eldest Miss is here." Today was the first day for Yuchen to move in. So, it was normal for people to come and visit.

When Yuru entered Tingyun Pavilion, she felt that her eyes were not enough to see everything inside. She had always known that Tingyun Pavilion was the best courtyard in the residence, but she did not expect it to be so rich and exquisite, "It is a great blessing for Third Sister to live in such a beautiful loft."

Hearing this, Yuxi felt that it was not right. In order not to embarrass Yuru, she smiled and said, "We are all blessed to say that we all are truly lucky. Otherwise, if we were born in a common people's home, where would we have such a good life as this, and perhaps, we will still worry about our three meals!" This was also her sincere words. Although she lived a humbled life in her previous life, she never had to worry about food and clothing. Even if she was sent to remote hamlet by the Jiang family, she still didn't have to worry about eating and drinking, but it was also because of this that she knew the ordinary people were actually having a much harder life than her.

Yuru choked, but soon she smiled again and said, "Fourth Sister means is being a young miss of the state residence is a great blessing for us."

Then, Yuchen took both of her sisters to look around Tingyun Pavilion.

To the west of Tingyun Pavilion was Yuchen's private residence. The layout of this place wasn't only managed to make Yuru felt hot, even Yuxi couldn't help but sigh. The Old Madam was really too bias.

Several rooms in the east were unoccupied, but they were not idle either. They were arranged as study room, qin room, painting room and chess room.

Yuxi looked at the surface of the yellow rosewood writing desk and at the paintings on the wall which worth several cities (Chinese idiom : invaluable, priceless). As for the exquisite tea set placed on the table, no need for her to mention their worth. She was totally speechless. She was also a young miss of the residence, but the pay gap between them was too wide. Fortunately, she had lived for more than twenty years and managed to relax her mind. Otherwise, she would certainly be jealous.

The silk handkerchief in Yuru's hand had been twisted till it changed its form. She felt angry, hatred and resentful.

Then, they went to the painting room and looked at the picture hanging on the wall. Yuxi couldn't help but asked, "Third Sister, is this picture of the Five Saints a genuine one?"
